The Naxos Cheese Making Industry was established in 1990 by Emmanuel Koufopoulos in Saint Isidoros Galanadou - at the intersection of Melana and Potamia.

Emmanuel Koufopoulos created a special group of traditional cheese making and dairy products made in Naxos, using the island's tradition and the family experience in producing cattle breeding goods in combination with the help of modern technology.

Top-quality cow milk is used for all the products, collected from more than 100 cows existing at his farmhouse and the cow and goats' milk given to him by the approximately 200 selected cattle breeders existing in the mountainous regions of Naxos. The cheese dairy goods are produced in limited quantity.
